After Action Report
The Hornets buried the Cavaliers 119-93. Hornets' offense had its way with the Cavaliers. Hornets' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; Cavaliers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Hornets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Cavaliers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
